Location
Marina Bay
Marina Bay Sands is the three-tower integrated resort that defined the Singapore skyline when it opened in 2010. Designed by Moshe Safdie, the three towers are linked at the top by the 340-meter SkyPark — a ship-like structure that houses the world's highest infinity pool (150m up, 150m long), observation deck, and the restaurant Cé La Vi.
The SkyPark Observation Deck is open to non-hotel guests for SGD 23 adults. The infinity pool is exclusive to hotel guests but the view from the rooftop bar SkyBar is the closest you can get as a visitor.
Beneath the towers: a 15,000 sqm casino (free entry for foreigners — bring passport), the Shoppes mall with the world's first Louis Vuitton floating island, and the ArtScience Museum (lotus-shaped, designed by the same architect).

Cé La Vi Restaurant & SkyBar
Rooftop restaurant and bar on the SkyPark — open to non-hotel guests for dinner/drinks. Expensive but iconic views.
<p>Marina Bay Sands opened on <strong>27 April 2010</strong> after six years of construction. Designed by Israeli-American architect <strong>Moshe Safdie</strong>, it cost US$5.5 billion and was the most expensive standalone casino property in the world at completion. The 2,561-room hotel sits on three 57-storey towers topped by a 340-metre SkyPark — the world's longest cantilever at the time of construction.</p>
✨ The story behind
<p>Safdie's original concept included a public rooftop park spanning all three towers. When engineers calculated the wind loads, they realised a single SkyPark would not be feasible — so they rotated the centre tower by 45 degrees and built the SkyPark as a single continuous deck offset above the three buildings. The 67-metre cantilever was assembled on the ground and lifted into place over 14 days.</p><p>The SkyPark's infinity pool at 200 metres is reserved for hotel guests only — it has become one of the most-photographed pools in the world, with no public access.</p>
🏛️ Cultural significance
<p>Marina Bay Sands is the <strong>architectural anchor of Singapore's skyline</strong> and the country's most-recognised building abroad. The integrated resort model — combining casino, hotel, convention centre, mall, theatre, and rooftop infinity pool — has been replicated worldwide.</p>
⭐ Fun fact
"The SkyPark houses 2,400 trees and 650,000 plants — a forest 200 metres above ground. During typhoon-grade winds, the rooftop can sway up to half a metre, safely dampened by tuned mass dampers."
